Dahlings!

Getting ready for the weekend means getting loaded, not like my old Friday nights, but carb loading for the long runs. I'm trying to be gluten free as much as possible so brown rice is my carb of choice right now. I need to experiment with what is going to work for me carb wise & if brown rice can replace my wholemeal pasta that I used to fuel up on. I'm running for 11/2 hours in the morning then yoga for 75mins so I thought a big bowl of rice with delicious Dahl would give me the energy I need. We will see.. & then an even bigger bowl of rice with Dahl for my 3 hour run fueling for Sunday. Here's my delicious recipe Dahlings...

Soaked red lentils
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
Coconut oil
Tin tomatoes
Tsp turmeric
Tsp smoked paprika
Tsp chilli powder
2 limes juice
3 cm grated ginger

Soften the onion in coconut oil, add the garlic & ginger. 
Add the lentils with water to cover, the tomatoes & spices.
Simmer for half hour. Add the lime juice for zing. 
Blend Dahl deliciousness.....
